Help when the connection fails in fibromyalgia!
Like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, do you need help thinking?
Fibromyalgia is a condition of amplified pain. Although why the dysfunction in how the brain and nervous system handle pain signals is unclear, the result is a myriad of symptoms for this known dysfunction. Fibro people experience pain at 2-3x the level of “normal”. Cognitive issues with short term memory. Inability to respond quickly both physically and mentally. Forgetting even familiar faces and names. And while the process for these scarecrow moments may not be evident to researchers, those with fibro still need help clearing the fog.
You can help your thinking with nutrients that support neuron messaging and nerve cell health. Healthy nerves are necessary to “pass along” messages your body needs to move, think, digest and a host of other functions. Your ability to think, reason, process information and store knowledge for later retrieval all depend on the cells in your nervous system.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a neurological disorder. As such, it is no wonder someone with FM has trouble with “self-talk”. The FM bodyis in pain, lacks restorative sleep and also low in the neurochemicals that trigger some of these messages. Like serotonin to regulate pain and sleep. GABA which helps with relaxation. What’s more, neuroinflammation from oxidative stress caused bylow levels ofneeded nutrients, sluggish blood flow and not enough antioxidant protection, adds to the brain fog problem.
There's more. Studies show sleep deprivation affects next day energy and pain levels in fibromyalgia. But poor sleep also contributes to poor thinking, aka "Fibro-fog". Plus, magnesium, a mineral necessary for proper nerve function, is found low in both fibromyalgia and SEID/ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). You cannot restore optimal brain function without restoring optimal magnesium levels.
As mentioned, fibromyalgia is defined as an amplified pain syndrome, meaning the pain volume is 2-3 times "higher" than normal pain. Dealing with this kind of pain may disrupt the processing of "normal" neurons pathways. Your ability to think "beyond the pain" is challenged and you may have trouble trying to focus on everyday tasks, even those you do on a routine basis. If it is a high pain day, you may not be able to remember certain things, which affects both short and long term memory.
How do you get the required nutrients to help yourself think?
Get them in a formula like Brain Clear ES™. It is packed with a synergistic nutrient team to help clear "brain fog" by improving blood flow and cell communication, protecting cells, supplying vital nutrients for thinking, and reducing anxiety. Here's a brief explanation of how each nutrient helps your brain think more clearly.
- Choline is a B vitamin that is needed to make acetylcholine, the “thinking neurotransmitter”. Besides being vital to nerve function, choline may also help curb harmful inflammation to protect nerve cells.
- Glutamine is essential to concentration, focus and memory and also helps sugar metabolism. Sugar (as glucose) is the brain’s primary source for energy.
- Gotu Kola helps blood circulation and strengthens blood vessels, plus reduces anxiety to increase focus.
- HuperzineA protects the number and size of specific neurons involved in memory and aging, plus spares acetylcholine to promote thinking and learning.
- Phosphatidyl Serine (PS) also helps acetylcholine to boost memory and learning. PS enhances cell to cell signaling and protects nerve cell integrity.
- RoseOx® is a patented form of rosemary extract . Itadds antioxidant protection while reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that causes cell damage.
Try Brain Clear ES™ for yourself! And don’t forget your brain needs magnesium too. Get the most bioavailable form in TyH’s Fibro-Care™ which will help with the other symptoms of pain and low energy in fibromyalgia, too.
